About this Event
ALEX FRANCIS — THE REVIVAL TOUR THU 15TH OCT | CHELMSFORD, HOTBOX LIVE
Some voices don't just sing — they pull something out of you. Alex Francis has one of those voices.
Chelmsford used to get skipped. Artists would go from Southend to Colchester and bypass the city entirely — HotBox Live changed that. It’s a venue that wouldn't be out of place in Camden Town — tucked into the railway viaducts, loud, warm, and uncompromising.
It's the perfect room for Alex Francis.
Twenty million streams. BBC Radio 2 support. Festivals from SXSW in Austin to Madcool in Madrid. His sound sits at the intersection of indie-pop, rock n roll and 70s soul — rootsy, soulful, the kind of Americana that sounds like it was recorded in a candlelit studio in 1972 but feels utterly alive right now. And live, with a full band behind him, it hits even harder.
The Revival Tour closes out in Chelmsford on October 15th — and with a full debut album arriving before the year is out, this is the last chance to catch Alex Francis at this level before everything gets a lot bigger.
Don't sleep on it, Essex!
